School Tours – 2 slots (Intro)

$0.00

This 75 minute virtual tour will give your group an inside look at how recyclables are sorted in our recently upgraded Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and how compost and garbage are consolidated at the Transfer Station. RethinkWaste Staff will also provide an overview of how to sort your materials properly, a discussion about reuse and reduction tips, and answer questions about hard-to-recycle items.

To ensure everyone gets their questions answered, a maximum of 40 individuals (students and chaperones) are allowed per virtual tour.
We highly encourage other adults to join us on our virtual tour to assist our Staff and teachers with maintaining student focus and keeping the tour on schedule.

PLEASE NOTE: Booking a tour is free. When you click the "Choose Dates" button below, we'll ask you to to choose your first date, then your second date. Then in the final step we will get your contact information. Your tour is not booked until you finish the entire process.
